King of Diamonds Whistler rally gives skilled skiers with a lucky hand

The King of Diamonds poker rally combines athletic prowess with pure luck in a unique event to aid the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation, Saturday April 19.

Competitors will ski or ride 10 different Black Diamond runs through the day, and receive a playing card once they complete each run. At the end of the day, the competitor with the best five-card hold’em poker hand will be declared the winner, and take home a 2014/15 season’s pass.

All proceeds will go to the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation, which will provide financial support to non-profit organizations in the Sea to Sky corridor that aid health, human services, education, recreation, arts and culture and the environment.

The event begins with a mandatory check-in on Saturday at 7:30 a.m.
